Halloween is here. After two years of reduced Corona festivities we had an office party where all dressed up. My choice to go was as a Plague Doctor – kind of fitting after the pandemic.
Plague doctors were medical professionals who treated plague patients during outbreaks of the disease in Europe. They wore long robes and a mask with a long beak-like nose, which was filled with herbs and other substances to help protect them from the disease.
Later that day I spent the evening eating chili and passing out candy at David san’s house, while waiting for my son to finish his round of “Trick or treating” in the East Sac neighborhood.
This particular area was chosen by my son and his buddies as the people living there “pass out full chocolate bars!!!”
Needless to say we came home fully loaded.
